Do you support the RMT?

[Corky]

Poor management. Glad you agree.

Not when BMW took over, if was staff culture, resistance to change, which in an industry where you need continuous improvement doesn't work.

BAe didn't have a clue how to make cars, but BMW were not bad.

The car industry was ruined by poor product.

and by a management who failed to invest in R&D and just assumed everyone would just buy British - they repeated the same mistake the British motorcycle industry did a decade before its just that because there was no industrial action people just gloss over that

So did Pep.

He changed his mind and bought Haaland, maybe you might come to understand them too.

Hahaha. Brilliant.

BAE didn't want to make cars - they were "persuaded" to by the Govt - my Dad was at BAE and the tales he has told me.............

100% behind them. I have been a union member ally my working life, it’s everyone’s right to withdraw their labour.

I am a Civil Servant, got promoted 7 years ago. Got a pay rise last year for the first time at my management grade for the first time.
Sick to death of all the middle management shite and downgraded last month.
My new salary is less than what I was on before promotion and there’s a pay freeze in place for this year.
My mortgage is paid off my wife’s just been promoted. I can take the hit and can take the cost of living spiral on the chin I am lucky.

Management in the seventies was appalling. It was on the bowling green rather than leading. Upper class twits many if them who could not communicate or gather team spirit. Relied on working class promotion above their union colleagues to do the dirty work

What makes you think everyone who disagrees with you is a lefty? It seems to me that people don’t agree with you because you come across as a selfish **** not because of any political differences.

Your just coming across as very bitter.
I don’t need to call you a **** because I am sure in real life your probably not.
To be honest, I don’t really give a shit about what you really think about me because, not on a wealth basis, but, intellectually, ideologically or socially, I think we can safely say our paths are very unlikely to cross.

Ask the Car Industry how the Unions helped ruin them in the 70’s/80’s.

Ask them how Brexit has ruined them.

Some fair points there Horlock. I can see why you would be a bit miffed with your circumstances. But your content to say your lucky instead of bitter, many wouldn’t see it that way

i despise strikers.

Is it the only type of carpet that you refuse to stock?
